The Show 5

Sorry about the 403 errors yesterday morning. I keep forgetting that there are words I cannot use in the title of the comic, because they fuck up the PHP code. Like “select.”

Ye gods, I am a tired dog. Con season is upon us. Mel and I will be at Project A-Kon 25 at the end of the month. Been doing this con for years, always a great time. It appears that Jen and Obby, as well as Juno, and a slew of other cartoonists and miscreants will be there with us. If you live in DFW, come on by!

Discussion (28) ¬

(About the 403 errors) Seriously? As someone who has done a fair amount of PHP programming, I can say that if you can’t use words like select in a title, the programmers did something VERY, VERY wrong.

The Paparazzi’s status as subhuman was confirmed for me when I read about how they behaved at the Princess Diana accident scene. Jostling emergency workers aside to get pics of her AS SHE WAS DYING in the back of the torn open cheese grater that that car had become in the wreck caused BY THEM as they chased it through that tunnel. Die, Scum.

Dude, thanks for not having Alex be a complete bitch about Mick’s misstep. It keeps her likable. Her actions seem reasonable to me. It also continues to demonstrate how tattooed, heavily armed people are often far more reasonable and fair than more “mainstream” types.

As she said, she’s not a cunt. She realizes that Mick didn’t know he was doing something wrong. She’s probably as annoyed at herself (for not seeing this coming and warning him) as she is at Mick. That said, I think she’s going to take all of her annoyance at Mick, and all of her annoyance at herself, and stack it atop her pile of annoyance with Bertelli; I’m just looking forward to seeing what she does with it. The best part (or worst, for Bertelli) is that I don’t think it even matters that she’s apparently one of the best shooters in the world; I have full faith that her revenge will be a lot more interesting than that.

A: Say blondie, wanna play a game of William Tell with the reporter?
M: How’s that go?
A: We tie this (insert 5 minutes of explecitive laden descriptions here) to a tree, place an apple on his head, and demonstrate our shooting skills by shooting the apple off.
M: THere’s just two problems….
A: What?
M: I’m out of apples. The only fruit I have in the apartment is raisins.
A: And the second problem?
M: You know how well I shoot compared to you.
A: …..that’s not going to be a problem for me.

Which is why I watch damn little TV. Most of TV shows contain what I call “Idiot Plots” – the stories don’t work unless at least one of the characters is an idiot. Usually they all are. And generally, so is the viewer.
I decline to participate.
